Glossary

Entering a glucose value from a blood glucose meter test into the app, to improve the accuracy of the sensor. This action is necessary every time a new sensor is inserted into the arm and paired with the app. This enables glucose values from the sensor to be used to make therapy decisions, such as insulin dosing.

Current glucose values that are taken from a blood glucose meter test and entered into the app, to improve the accuracy of the sensor. This enables glucose values from the sensor to be used to make therapy decisions, such as insulin dosing.

A specific substance (in a medicine or food, for example), that once administered is known to adversely affect the accuracy of glucose values.

Glucose in the thin layer of fluid that surrounds tissue cells, just below the skin.

mg/dL indicates how much the particles (glucose) present in a deciliter weigh. It is a weight indication.

mg/dL is commonly used in Argentina​, Austria​, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cyprus, Egypt​, France​, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Romania, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United States of America.

mmol/L indicates the number of particles (glucose) per liter. It is the indication of a quantity of substance in 1 liter.

mmol/L is commonly used in Australia​, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Czech Republic​, Denmark​, Estonia​, Finland​, Germany, Hungary​, Kazakhstan​, Latvia​, Lithuania, Malaysia, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Russia​, Serbia​, Singapore​, Slovakia​, Slovenia​, Sweden​, Switzerland, South Africa​, United Kingdom.

A smartphone or tablet computer that runs the app.

Any treatment performed or administered in order to bring one's glucose values back to, or keep within, normal levels.

The status the sensor is in after the user has performed calibration. In this status, CGM values can be used to make therapy decisions, such as insulin dosing.

The status the sensor is in before the user has performed calibration. In this status, CGM values can only be used to see trends and as a general reference.
